Deniz Undav, born on 19 July 1996 (age 30), is a German striker with Stuttgart, where he wears number 26. His current market value is around £17m, according to Transfermarkt.
His clearest breakthrough came at Union Saint-Gilloise, where the loan spell around his Brighton move gave him the games and rhythm he needed. The 2021-22 season was the one that changed the scale of his career: 25 league goals in 33 appearances, a return that moved him well beyond the usual polite interest reserved for late developers.
Stuttgart became the next important step. In 2026-27, he has made seven Bundesliga appearances and three in the Champions League, scoring once in Europe. Across all competitions for Stuttgart this season, he has 10 appearances and one goal.
Undav has also been involved with Germany this season, making four World Cup appearances and scoring three times. His career has been shaped less by early fanfare than by productive spells at the right moments, with Union Saint-Gilloise the key staging post before his work at Stuttgart.
